Yes I have seen this issue before however it looks like all ntoskrnl security updates are necessary. An example of this are KB2556532 and KB2679255v2. Even thought KB2679255v2 contains updated version of files included in KB2556532 however both of them must be installed otherwise WU will complain.
Komm, Maybe its a DNS server issue? you could try changing the order of your DNS servers, it sounds like the ones lower on the list are more reliable? Of course, run the command: Code: ipconfig /flushdns from the command prompt after you do this. Two common alternative DNS providers are Google and OpenDNS: (I copied these from Wikipedia, but they are correct) Google: Code: IPv4 addresses 8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4 IPv6 addresses 2001:4860:4860::8888 2001:4860:4860::8844 OpenDNS: Code: IPv4 addresses 208.67.222.222 (resolver1.opendns.com) 208.67.220.220 (resolver2.opendns.com) 208.67.222.220 208.67.220.222 IPv6 addresses (experimental) 2620:0:ccc::2 2620:0:ccd::2
With the changers/corrections made to the old update remover for the 18th, it seem now WU is showing KB2556532 and 2644615 for me... so Komms earlier post was correct about them having the GDR to keep... anyone else finding this, as the Cesidian repository has them listed to be removed...
@Burf: Should read: Updated: 18.04.2012 Added: KB972959-v2, KB2556532, KB2644615, KB2645594 Readded KB2532445-v2 (previously in LDR placerholders) Removed: KB951422-v2 The txt file is corrected on the server-updates always were present. I have deleted the LDR placeholders folder-was way too obselete-and kept the GDR/LDR hotfixes in their respective main folders; ie: IIs, MSMQ, NFS, x86/x64 etc. which means they are no longer separated out of the main pack into a separate folder. Current April 18 7-zipped x86/x64 repo' uploaded.
@McRip I never had any problem using the original VC_RedistInstaller, but, used your latest after a fresh install in a First Logon cmd with the silent switch and it, too, worked perfectly; Thanks, very nice!
@ amires: I'm not so sure about your 'satisfying Windows Updates' story, as this happens to me quite frequently, that WU is not showing any updates. Yet, when SoLoR refreshes there may be 30 new updates in there and WU hasn't even mentioned anything yet. So I don't think WU not showing any updates is any validation of your GDR vs LDR story. I installed an old Win7 x64 image I made in January as my HDD got messed up, and it only showed 14 updates on WU, ya know
Well whenever SOLOR refreshes do not expect all of the new hotfixes to appear on windows update only security updates will show on WU. A lot of the hotfixes are private hotfixes and they will never appear on WU. So out of 30 new updates mentioned in your example you will find maybe 4 or 5 of them on WU.
@komm is there anything wrong with your latest KUC??? All the following updates had been installed before. KUC said the updates are missing and downloaded all of'em and installed the updates. Windows6.1-KB2518869-x64.msu Windows6.1-KB2386667-x64.msu Windows6.1-KB2512715-x64.msu Windows6.1-KB2607047-x64.msu Windows6.1-KB943790-x64.msu Windows6.1-KB970985-x64.msu Windows6.1-KB974405-x64.msu Windows6.1-KB974674-x64.msu Windows6.1-KB975541-x64.msu Windows6.1-KB2656946-x64.msu Windows6.1-KB2647644-v2-x64.msu Windows6.1-KB2619082-x64.msu Windows6.1-KB2607496-v3-x64.msu Windows6.1-KB2589154-x64.msu Windows6.1-KB2581690-x64.msu Windows6.1-KB2577917-x64.msu Windows6.1-KB2568771-x64.msu Windows6.1-KB2545735-x64.msu Windows6.1-KB2539513-x64.msu Windows6.1-KB2531907-x64.msu Windows6.1-KB2466373-v2-x64.msu Windows6.1-KB2385838-v2-x64.msu Windows6.1-KB2462585-v2-x64.msu Windows6.1-KB2462137-v2-x64.msu
Does anyone know why KB2532445-v2 has been readded to the Cesidan repository? It is obsoleted and is not required.
